Wix Hotels by HotelRunner: Connecting HomeAway to Your Site

HomeAway supports iCal integration for seamless calendar availability updates with Wix Hotels by HotelRunner. Follow the steps below to integrate your Wix Hotels by HotelRunner calendar with HomeAway and ensure smooth management of your reservations.

Important information before you begin:

• iCal Integration: HomeAway uses a one-way iCal integration. This means that while your calendar availability will sync from Wix Hotels by HotelRunner to HomeAway, your rates and reservations will not. You will need to manually update any reservations received from HomeAway in your Wix Hotels by HotelRunner calendar.

• Manage Rates and Restrictions: You must manage your rates and booking restrictions directly from the HomeAway channel extranet.

• Calendar Sync: The iCal integration will only transmit your Wix Hotels by HotelRunner calendar to HomeAway. No data will be received from HomeAway.

• HomeAway allows you to sync five external calendars per property, including Google, Airbnb, Booking.com, and other platforms.
